Description from the seller
Basket silver
Portugal assay mark (1938-1984), 833/000, and same date marker's mark.
Elegant silver basket entirely crafted in fine wirework, displaying the delicacy and precision characteristic of traditional Portuguese silversmithing.
The basket has a circular, gently flared form, constructed wire by wire to create an intricate openwork lattice pattern. The centre features a particularly fine and dense woven design, finished with an attractive geometric motif.
The combination of the open lattice sides and tightly woven centre gives the piece a light, refined appearance while demonstrating a high level of craftsmanship.
A charming example of Portuguese decorative silverwork, ideal for a collection or as an elegant decorative object.
